Tridimensional surface roughness analysis after resin infiltration of (deproteinized) natural subsurface carious lesions

Conclusions Resin infiltration showed only minor effects on Sa values of etched subsurface lesions (p?<?0.170) and did neither equal nor improve baseline surface roughness (p?>?0.401) of the different tooth types. Clinical relevance Deproteinization should be recommended before etching and infiltration, even if surface roughness of infiltrated advanced (pre-)molar lesions will not be improved.

Nanotechnology in dentistry: drug delivery systems for the control of biofilm-dependent oral diseases.

Authors: Sousa FF, Ferraz C, Rodrigues LK, Nojosa Jde S, Yamauti M Abstract Dental disorders, such as caries, periodontal and endodontic diseases are major public health issues worldwide. In common, they are biofilm-dependent oral diseases, and the specific conditions of oral cavity may develop infectious foci that could affect other physiological systems. Efforts have been made to develop new treatment routes for the treatment of oral diseases, and therefore, for the prevention of some systemic illnesses. New drugs and materials have been challenged to prevent and treat these conditions, especially by means of bacteria elimination. “Recent progresses in understanding the etiology, epidemiology and microbiology of the microbial flora in those circumstances have given insight and mo…

Evaluation of the bone regeneration potential of bioactive glass in implant site development surgeries: a systematic review of the literature

Conclusions Within the limitations of this review, it can be concluded that (1) the combination of BG with AB chips in a 1:1 ratio is an efficacious treatment modality for direct sinus augmentation, with histological results comparable to 100 % AB. (2) When used for ridge preservation, BG yields a high percentage of true bone regeneration. (3) Currently, no reliable controlled studies report histological outcomes from the use of BG in ridge augmentation procedures. Clinical relevance Clinicians may consider BG bone substitutes as efficacious alternatives for ridge preservation and sinus augmentation surgical procedures. Further controlled clinical studies are warranted to determine if bone-to-implant contact is improved in BG-grafted sites…
